I'll tell mine, from a photographers point of view.
1)Spouse wants to know when the hell you will be home.
2)Weather's great until the trains show up.
3)You're in FRC all alone until a carload of "subfans" show up and get in your photo at the last minute.
4)"Mother Nature" calls for a #2 deposit just before the train shows up (nothing like pooping and trying to take a photo at the same time).
5)Pooping in poison oak.
6)Camera battery craps out.
7)Cops want to know why to are parked off the road. Is there some "funny business" going on??
8)Damn locomotive cab door is open!!
9)Conductor "moons" you.
10)Crews think you are the MOP hiding in the weeds.
